About
Intention
At Women in Circularity® , we strive to offer insights and inspiration you can use in your personal and professional sustainability journeys.
Inception
Launched by MaryEllen Etienne in March 2021, in honor of International Women’s Day, Women in Circularity® spotlights women advancing the circular economy. These profiles feature female leaders working at large global corporations, small women-owned consulting firms, community-based nonprofits, all levels of government and everything in between. These women are making meaningful contributions to the development of a circular economy and through this series we show them our appreciation and celebrate their work.
Inclusion
We are a modest but growing community of Women in Circularity® alumnae, led by founder, owner and author MaryEllen Etienne — and we're excited to partner with YOU! We maintain a long and growing wish list of future Women in Circularity® profilees and welcome your recommendations. We're also proud to have strategic partners like Resource Recycling Inc., which republishes the series in their online magazine with MaryEllen's permission, and we're always open to other partners to support our work. We'd love to bring Women in Circularity® Live to your audiences too. If you'd like to recommend someone for WiC, feature the series in your publication, host a live event, or support this work in any other way — please reach out through the contact form below.
